So it's final, my credentials finally came through today. Several people who are well connected, both as motorsports photographers and in the world of motorcycle racing, have asked me how I was able to secure credentials to a MotoGP considering it will be the first ever MotoGP race I have ever covered. I do realize that F1 and MotoGP are the hardest to get, and some say impossible. I'd like to say it was a little bit of luck, but more hard work and determination. And a nice relationship established with all those involved.I want to first thank Maria Alonso from Motorrad Centro for her early support and getting me the 2008 Valencia Application. She is the best!!! To Ena Escallier who worked hard sending emails to more than 30 motorcycle pubs around the world, and finally to Dorna for issuing the creds.
This will mean I will be in the pits and out on the track. It's nice to know that the 120 lbs of gear I lugged to Spain will be put to good use. Look for photos from Jerez in the coming weeks.
